Thanks for your help guys this site has fostered my love of these old trucks and with your help lay people can actually enjoy the mechanical challenges these old beasts pose from time to time. My exhaust leak is coming from the oil filler pipe when the truck is under load. There is no vent off the pipe (truck is a '52 probably did not exist). I understand my engine is worn. I am wondering what i can do to fix the problem with the exhaust coming out the filler pipe? I was told when i bought the truck that the rings were worn. Is this the problem? I would like to drive the truck for the summer then this winter tackle the engine. Thanks again for all your help. Jeff
